  Importing non-anamorphic footage into anamorphic timeline

  Posted by Chris Mason on April 15, 2009 at 11:40 pm

  Hi and thanks in advance for your help.

  I am a fairly new FCP user and am trying to help out a friend with a project. I am afraid I may have volunteered to early!

  I have a hard drive with the video footage that he gave me. It is “widescreen” (anamorphic) video, but it was exported as 720×486 quicktime files. When I import them into my FCP timeline, which I have set to Anamorphic, the clips stay square instead of goign to the correct widescreen format.

  Is there a setting to make the clips get stretched out properly?

  Thanks!
  Chris

  Hi Chris,
  BEFORE to drag your footage to the time-line, make sure that they are checked as Anamorphic in the Anamorphic column on the Browser.
